This Pierce-Arrow Model 51 Four Passenger Sport Touring has bodywork designed by John LiBaire of New York. Mr. LiBaire, who opened the New York Stock Exchange, designed this one-off body for his own Pierce-Arrow Model 66 after it suffered a cowl and engine fire. Mr. LiBaire later sold the body to another Pierce-Arrow owner, who refitted it to this Model 51 (chassis number 513156).
The Pierce-Arrow Model 51 was powered by the new Dual Valve engine that was introduced in 1918. It was a 6-cylinder unit displacing 524 cubic inches and used dual intake and exhaust valves and twin spark plugs in each cylinder fired by dual Delco ignition. The engine was mated to a 4-speed transmission.
This Pierce-Arrow Model 51 is one of just 12 examples that remain in modern times. It has a brown leather interior and a new Black Haartz top.By Daniel Vaughan | Dec 2014
